Infantile Mortality.
The total number of deaths under one year was 287 :—.46 in
Clapham, 25 in Putney, 48 in Balham, 40 in Streatham, 37 in
Tooting, and 91 in Wandsworth. As the number of births was
4,974, the Infantile Mortality was 57 per 1,000 births.
This is the lowest number of deaths under one year of age
that has ever occurred in the Borough, and the mortality rate
is the lowest but one recorded. It compares with an average
of 74 for the last 10 years. This low number and rate is due to
a marked fall in the number of deaths from Diarrhoea and Enteritis.
The number of deaths among legitimate infants was 268 to
4,796 births—a mortality of 55 per 1,000 births, while the number
of deaths among illegitimate infants was 19 to 178 births—a
mortality of 106 per 1,000 births.
